NVIDIA pays zero tax? TIL

Not only that, but received $200 million in tax benefits for all that R&D spend. Tax breaks for R&D make sense for smaller orgs, but not at this scale. NVIDIA would continue to innovate at this scale without the tax breaks to maintain their market edge.

Why they do not pay tax?

I don't know what the program is called in other countries but in Canada it's called SR&ED. Basically you can claim back up to 70% of the expenses you paid into R&D, including salary.

They aren't in Canada.

same reason as most places, because that's what they think you'll pay for it ...
conceptually it makes sense to promote drug development, and most development, but in practice it's very hard to implement anything 'fairly' when they are billions of dollars at stake.

Wtf. I keep hearing the whole point of capitalism “but they take risks when they invest, we can’t take away their profits. How will they innovate???”
Mean while they get tax breaks on this “risk”
Privatize profits, socialize the losses, bs is what it is

That’s not true at all. The reason their rate is low is due to R&D getting capitalized this year, which increases the amount of FDII they pay.
If you look at the actual tax they paid this year, it’s around $2 billion, or a 50% tax rate

Negative tax.

The tax they paid in 2022 was about 50% of their pre-tax profit
Obvious_Chapter2082 t1_jbernzc wrote
That’s their income tax expense, which isn’t the same thing as the tax they pay. Judging from their 10-K, they did pay tax at around a 50% tax rate for 2022

According to their 10-K filing they owe over $2 billion in deferred income taxes.
